Thunderstorm
Radio static grated on Lillian’s nerves, but she listen to the weather alert.
“Grab your favorite book and toy. Don’t dawdle,” Lill urge her three children.
Their fraidy-hole was ready. Lillian took a moment to grab a few treasures. The thunderstorm became a category five tornado.
“Get underground now!”
They lost everything else.
